Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

posted on: Feb 5, 2015

Nassim Nicholas Taleb has carved himself a niche as a prominent economic thinker of our time. Two seminal works, Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan, showed the author to be a brilliant statistician with a gift for illustrating complex issues in an understandable way.

The former options trader has since enjoyed an almost cult-like following that has seemingly gone to his head. Taleb talks often of his accomplishments, claiming to be the most voracious reader, able to compute seemingly impossible equations in the blink of an eye – and stopping just shy of leaping over tall buildings in a single bound.
